Preferred term

mortgage credit certificates  

Definition

  • Government, especially at the state and local level, strives to help low- and moderate-income renter households become homeowners. Mortgage credit certificates offer a reduction in federal income taxes to eligible households, leaving more after-tax income for the purchase of a home.
